Way finding interactive map

PlattInfo is an interactive outdoor kiosk documenting local businesses, sights, and activities of downtown Plattsburgh, NY. I was asked to make a representation of the area and showcase the atmosphere of my hometown. It’s a small downtown, but after walking around and researching the architecture, there certainly is a lot to see and do. One of my favorite places is the large monument atop the hill that rolls right down into the Saranac river and meets the passing train.

The kiosk itself was made to showcase local places and businesses not just for residents but the area’s many Canadian tourists. I wanted to give an inviting and warm atmosphere to the place I grew up, to get people excited about downtown.

Downtown Plattsburgh has a large variety of unique and historic buildings. By showcasing the beautiful architecture beyond what store occupies it, you get a sense of place not tied to any sort of mandate to eat or shop, but to simply look up and enjoy your surroundings.

My own little ad for the kiosk to promote freelancing!

Translation services for the region, highly important being on the border!

Local businesses, services, and entrepreneurs are showcased on the kiosk. I made some for a few restaurants and businesses, as well as created templates to follow. Each promotion had to specifically cater to both English and French speaking users. When perusing through what to do in Plattsburgh, the user can look up a variety of information and these promotions serve as a gateway to both locals and tourists.
